Latest Patents
Gerhard Ertinghausen holds a patent for a "Method for quantitative analysis of body fluid constituents." This invention is a self-contained, chromatic quantitative analyzer that quantitatively detects an analyte in a biological fluid. The device includes a base with a first open reservoir for receiving the biological fluid. It features a means for separating solids from the biological fluid within the first open reservoir. A channel is designed to draw the biological fluid from the first open reservoir to a second open reservoir through capillary and/or wicking action. Once the second open reservoir is full, the capillary and/or wicking action ceases. Additionally, a membrane in the channel is permeable to the biological fluid and contains at least one chromatic chemical indicator immobilized in a predetermined concentration. This membrane allows the biological fluid to interact with the chromatic chemical indicator, facilitating accurate analysis.
